Africa is a continent on the move and the youths seem to be disconnected from any form of leadership or vision to help them take the continent to the next level. MentorAfrica looks to help youths, through various life transition mentoring topics, to prepare youths for development and leadership whenever the need arises.

We cannot overemphasis the importance of
preparing for the moment. Many find themselves faced with opportunities they
thought they were ready for but discovered that they had a myopic view of the
situation. It is easier to play the game from the sidelines. We must ensure
that we have a proper understanding of any situation if we really desire to
make an impact. Many often try to work from an idealist point of view forgetting
that life is more real than ideal because there are limitations to overcome
over which you have no control. This is the reason a lot of people fail in
leadership, they had no holistic understanding of the challenges of the
position before assuming responsibilities. #PositiveAfricans must realise that
the work that needs to be done to develop the continent is far more than having
brilliant ideas. Navigating the culture of illiteracy, ignorance and nepotism
is key to implementing brilliant ideas. #PositiveAfricans cannot deceive themselves
into thinking that college degrees and strong desire alone can get the job
done. We must prepare to make huge sacrifices and persevere until the majority
of the people understand that the way of corruption is the way of destruction. Corruption
is not innate to Africa, we must be prepared to do whatever it takes to move it
to the backburner like other more progressive societies have done. #PositiveAfricans
must constantly hold up a picture of what a progressive Africa would like for
all to see.
